I think most people in the know, would have seen this before, or at least know how it's done.However, I'd guess that most laymen would probably not have seen this and it'll probably kill them .... the only downside is it's best not to video it - too easy for people to rewind to their heart's content and work out what's going on.

QUESTION:If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Just had another thought about this and another downside to this, is if you're showing it to more than one person at a time.You ask someone to think of one of the cards, but another spec may also think of a card .... and if they both pick different cards .... and they both disappear, even though you only remove one card .... requires good audience management to prevent this from happening.I still like it though

This.

The Princess Card Trick can be a surprising fooler, but it's extremely risky performing to more than one person.

You just need two spectators to mention what their card was, and if they made different selections, it will immediately dawn on them that more than one card from the original display has disappeared.

But for a quick effect shown to an individual, it's definitely something that you can pull off, and can create genuine surprise.
